MARTHA PATSEY ELLIS CHINOUTH
For years I have wondered about all the Martha Patsey Ellis girls...but today I think I have them figured out. They most likely were named for Martha Ellis the wife of William Ellis who settled in Washington County where they raised a large family. So all the Martha Patsey's are cousins in some way and some are more than just simple cousins but cousins entwined with several families
